Beauty With A Gun (Hidden Beauty)

Chapter 12

I wiped my eyes and looked out at the party. I've never been helpless like that. I looked up at the boy that saved me. My eyes were captured by his. I wasn't sure of how I felt about this guy, but I could feel everything in me scream to hold him and protect him from the world. The feeling scared me so bad it makes me think I should walk away,  but then I look at him and a little voice tells me to ride this out and don't let him go.  The girl who walked into this school all those weeks ago no longer existed I knew this, I accepted it awhile ago. The girl I was now..... I don't recognize. She felt, she was weak, but she was what made him save her.

I looked up at Harry wanting him to know I wasn't weak. "I'm going to kill him." I whispered. He didn't say anything just placed a light kiss on my forehead freezing me where I sat. Suddenly our position registered to me. I was cradled to him like a scared child. I was suddenly disgusted with myself.

I ignored the tingling feeling he gave me and pulled away from him. I heard him sigh, but he didn't pull me back like earlier.

"Roxy...." He sounded nervous.

"Yea?" I said pausing with my hand on the doorknob.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there sooner." He wasn't looking at me. I frowned in confusion.

"Why? If you got there any sooner it'd of probably of just gotten you hurt too." I felt a spike of rage at the thought of Andrew hurting Harry. He laughed shaking his head.

"I just figured that if I was there maybe I could of stopped it somehow." He was still avoiding eye contact, so I sighed and crawled back to him. I moved so I was straddling him and tilted his face to look at me. I knew this feeling, I had it every time a mission went wrong or when Collin got hurt. Like there had to be something I could of done differently.

He stared at me wide eyed as I forced him to look at me. "Harry you saved me from being raped by.... him. Any sooner and you wouldn't of been able to catch him off guard like that you'd of gotten hurt then there wouldn't of been someone to save me." I told him honestly. Harry isn't a fighter and the way Andrew was on edge..... Harry looked at me trying to find a lie or some sign of uncertainty but he found none.

He let out a breathe and my eyes unconsciously moved to his lips. I lightly bit my lip feeling nervous suddenly. I could feel his breathing deepen under my palms as mine went to match his. When my eyes flicked back to his I saw a new emotion I've never seen from him. It was so animalistic I couldn't look away.

"Roxy." He breathed out my name softly causing me to shiver. His eyes glazed over with lust as his hand moved up my legs to the back of my bare thighs. I realized then that my dress had hitched up when I straddled him, but I didn't care I was to enraptured by the look he was giving me. "Roxy if you don't go I wont be able to stop myself." He whispered.

I looked at him curiously. "Stop yourself from what?" I asked slightly nervous. He smiled as he leaned in slowly. I found myself leaning in as well until our lips were just about to touch.

A banging on the window caused us to jump apart. I heard him groan causing me to smile til I looked out the window and saw a very angry Mark. I looked at Harry scared for his life, before I started to go to my cold place. If Mark tries to harm Harry I will kill him without hesitation. I wasn't allowed to train with the guys so I had been automatically ranked the weakest; however, I know all of their weaknesses because I was allowed to watch. I got out of the car and shut the door in Harry's face leaning against the door hoping he'd take the hint and stay where he's safe.

"Mark." I greeted coldly. I saw the hurt in his eyes before he raised his walls.

 "Roxy aren't you suppose to be completing a mission?" He replied crossing his arms.

"Aren't you suppose to not blowing our cover?" I retorted angrily.

He sighed and let his wall slip a little. "I wanted to see you." I glared at him.

"Mark, Collin told me about the pictures. I think you should stay away from me."

"So you'll let him touch you! A guy you just met!" He waved angrily towards the car. "But you find out about my feelings and shut me out!"

"Your like my brother, Mark." I stated without emotion.

"So what is he?" He asked desperately. What to say? The honest answer would be I don't know, but he wouldn't believe me. I could tell him I'm with Harry though that could give him a reason to kill him.

"He's part of the mission." I partially lied. I could play off acting into him would be like Collin and Rebecca a way to blend and a reason for us girls to bond. But I knew deep down it was more then that.

"I know you Roxy." He warned. "I'm going to Boss about this."

I scoffed. "Boss is going to treat you like the stupid boy your being. Plus I'll love telling him about you constantly bringing up our mission in front of random people." I smirked. He glanced at Harry and paled.

"Fuck." He glared. " Well hope you enjoy killing this one." I masked my emotions as he looked for a sign that I cared about Harry's life. I shrugged.

"You know me I love a good kill." I looked back towards Harry, thinking about how I still need to kill Andrew. Harry flinched from fear. It was almost enough to snap me back, almost. I sighed. "Unfortunately, I'm on strict orders of not killing on this mission until instructed to do so." I fake pouted, before I resumed grinning like the mad woman Mark knows me as.

He laughed, looking more relaxed suddenly. "Don't worry I'll get you those orders." I gave him my fake happy smile, like he just gave me the best present.

"Alright Mark, let me know what's going on. I'm going to play some recon with this." I pointed my thumb back at Harry. Mark smiled shaking his head before taking off. I moved away from the car and opened the door. "Harry." I whispered urgently. " I'm going to get in the drivers seat and we are going to go. You need to stay back here and stay quiet understood?" I asked. He nodded.

We were down the mountain I kept checking to make sure we weren't being followed. I tossed my phone to Harry. "Text Collin that I'm safe, then snap the SIMS card in half and toss the phone out the window." I watched him do as he was told in the rear view mirror. Once I saw the phone hit the pavement I pulled over and told him he can move to the passenger seat.

"Are you really going to kill me?" He asked. I glanced at him before focusing back on the road.

"No Harry. I'm not going to kill you and I'll do whatever it takes to not let them kill you either." I spoke a lot calmer then I felt. When I saw the familiar sign saying ' Dead end ahead' I pulled over behind it.

"Come on it's this way." I said before taking off my heels and walking into the woods bare foot.
